What a Hotel Man Knows.

On coming out of the army, just at
the close of the war, suffered with
indigestion, which soon developed
into dyspepsia, which so worked on
my system that was reduced to only
1876 pounds, although a brawny man
six. feet tall. For twenty years was
sufferer from chronic dyspepsia.
Last February / commenced taking
S. S. s., and after using eight bot
ties had no trace of the disease left
in my system, and weighed l80
pounds.
My wife also suffered from dyspep-
sir. After l was cured began
treating her with S. S. s. with the
happiest results. She rapidly i'm
proved, and is to-day comparatively
well but as measure Of safety, she
continues its use until the few bottles
on hand shall be consumed.

stables, but missed them early We'd
nesday morning and Immediately
struck their trail passing our place
obout Z o'clock, accompanied by two
other gentlemen. They found the
horses tied In piece of wood near
Crofton. Also found hid near BY a
lot of Dry Goods and Groceries that
had been stolen from d. L. Farmer,
ofLantrip's School House. The little
party left horses and goods and went
out TO Crofton to procure posse and
put them on trail of the thieves.
Marshal Higgins, of Crofton and
Constable Allen Of Fruit Hill, kept
watch over the stolen goods until
about midnight, when a party of
four came into the woods evidently
to remove the stolen property. They
were promptly arrested and identi-
fed as Marion Reynolds and wife of

Review of the Market for the Week
Ending Sept. 3.

Review of she Market for the Week
Ending Sept. 3.
Professor R~symond's paper, the New York
Engineering and Mining Journal has the
annexed review Of the condition OF the
lead market for the week ending the third
instant:
Lead has shown every disposition to
maintain its previous frmness. Sales Of
about 400 tons have been made at AS and
1880. the latter price being for smaller
parcels. The speculative element main
tains a bold front, and offers at cut.rates
meet with no response, but to the con-
trsrytthe large holders are still buyers,
both West and East, of any parcels that
shade the current market. Arrivals from
the West are extremely light, and The i'm
portation figure, 1890, based on ff2 at
London, alone keeps the market In check.
Messrs. John Wahl d Co., OF ST. Louis,
telegraph to day as follows: A dull and
easier feeling has prevailed since we re-
ported o week ago. Trade continues
quiet and quotations still have a
downward tendency. Our buyers here are
| very bearish and do not want lead at sell
ler's prices. The event OF the week has
been the sale Of perhaps 400 tons at prices
descending from 4'52% to 4'50
Messrs. Everett 4 Post, Of Chicago, tel
egraph to-day IS follows: We think the
market has about reached the highest
figure, and il now remains about the same,
il anything. a shade weaker. 1t Ia very
dull and there are no buyers, scarcely any
thing offered. The price has ruled at

When horse cars were first introduced into
the Mexican capital the manager OF the

firing all the hearses. Then he put fu-
neral cars on that branch running to the
cemetery, and the result was that every
body wishing to bury in consecrated
ground was at his mercy. II o became

HUMBOLDTERs ALARMED.

Dunphy the Cattle King Abous TO
Inaugurate q Big Irrigattng
Scheme.
II is currently reported here, says the
winnemucca Silver State, that William
Dunphy. the cattle king, who has recently
purchased fifty or sixty thousand acres OF
railroad lands on the Upper Humboldt. is
perfecting a plan TO divert ell the waters
of the Humboldt from their natural chan
mel for irrigating purposes. The report
has created some excitement among per-
Sons owning hay ranches along the river
and injunctions and law suits are threat.
ened.
It has been plainly evident for years
that sooner or later q series of suits at law
| would result from the appropriation of the
waters OF the Humboldt. Usually the
river overhows its banks in the Spring,
and there is water enough and to spare
for everybody up to July. As the Sum-
mer advances the river gets lower until
late in the season, when water becomes
quite scarce. This year the river was
unprecedentedly low. and the hay crop
was scsnt on many ranches. The cause of
this was alleged to be the diversion of
considerable water from the stream near
Beowawe. A committee OF interested
ranchers vent to that place to ascertain If
the allegations were true, and reported the
river damned, and bitches sufficiently
large built to carry all the water in the
stream, but nothing further was done in
the matter. Now if Mr.. Dunphy carries out
the project he is said TO have in view,i ii will!
leave the country west Of his ranch dry,
ruin all the meadow lands along the river.
